Calls different function delegates (with return values) based on the runtime types of objects. Types must be exact matches. Inheritance is not considered.

public class PerTypeDispatcher<TBase, TResult> where TBase : class

Type Parameters

TBase

The common base type of all objects to be dispatched.

TResult

The return value of the delegates.

Methods

Add<TSpecific>(Func<TSpecific, TResult>)

Adds a dispatch delegate.

public PerTypeDispatcher<TBase, TResult> Add<TSpecific>(Func<TSpecific, TResult> function) where TSpecific : TBase

Parameters

function Func<TSpecific, TResult>

The delegate to call.

Returns

PerTypeDispatcher<TBase, TResult>

The "this" pointer for use in a "Fluent API" style.

Type Parameters

TSpecific

The specific type to call the delegate for. Does not match subtypes.

Dispatch(IEnumerable<TBase>)

Dispatches for each element in a collection. Set up with Add<TSpecific>(Func<TSpecific, TResult>) first.

public IEnumerable<TResult> Dispatch(IEnumerable<TBase> elements)

Parameters

elements IEnumerable<TBase>

The elements to be dispatched.

Returns

IEnumerable<TResult>

The values returned by the matching delegates.

Exceptions

KeyNotFoundException

No delegate matching one of the element types was Add<TSpecific>(Func<TSpecific, TResult>)ed.

Dispatch(TBase)

Dispatches an element to the delegate matching the type. Set up with Add<TSpecific>(Func<TSpecific, TResult>) first.

public TResult Dispatch(TBase element)

Parameters

element TBase

The element to be dispatched.

Returns

TResult

The value returned by the matching delegate.

Exceptions

KeyNotFoundException

No delegate matching the element type was Add<TSpecific>(Func<TSpecific, TResult>)ed.

GetEnumerator()

Returns an enumerator that iterates through the collection.

public IEnumerator<KeyValuePair<Type, Func<TBase, TResult>>> GetEnumerator()

Returns

IEnumerator<KeyValuePair<Type, Func<TBase, TResult>>>

An enumerator that can be used to iterate through the collection.
